Legislation Workshop on the WSH (Construction) Regulations
WSH legislation requires various stakeholders in workplaces to “ensure” or “require” that safety and health standards are met. However, changes in the regulatory approach expressed through a less prescriptive regulatory rules where a more principles and outcome-focused approach to legislation can mean less clarity. Therefore, it is important that WSH Professionals understand the regulatory intents and applications and be able to help his/her employer to stay compliance.
This one-day Workshop on the WSH (Construction) Regulations will help participants understand the intents and applications of the provisions in the Regulations. It will be led by Mr Lee Kah Bee, an ex-MOM officer who oversaw the review and drafting of WSH legislation. He will address some common misconceptions in the Regulations and discusses some key court decisions.
Participants will also be looking at case studies based on simulated WSH issues to identify applicable provisions in the legislation.
By the end of the workshop, participants will better understand:
the provisions of the WSH (Construction) Regulations and their intents
how the provisions should be applied at their worksites
how to comply with the provisions of the Regulations
WSH Practitioners, Engineers, Business owners, contractors, and anyone who is interested in understanding more about the WSH (Construction) Regulations
